At the opening practice with his new club on Friday, Quebec Remparts C Jean-Simon Allard absorbed the receiving end of a Yannick Reiber elbow that will keep him sidelined for at least four-six weeks. Details of the play are coming together, but the injuries are said to include a fractured jaw (chin area) and dislocation. Surgery was required.
Chosen in the 5th round of the 2007 draft, the 6’2, 185-pound Allard is in a good spot to achieve with a loaded Quebec squad after breaking out with 60 points last season for St. John’s. The injury will obviously prevent the forward from skating in Buffalo’s main camp in a few short weeks, and may force Remparts boss Patrick Roy to peruse the QMJHL trade market.
